Does Bactrim Cause Constipation

I have been constipated for 3 weeks and I also suffer from severe headaches as well as my head sweats with pressure. I was told I have a severe sinus infection has anyone else experienced all or any of these symptons. I was given Bactrim DS for the infection. ## Your constipation may complicate the sicknesses you have now. You have to drink more water to get out with it. Or have this Digestic by Mimonis to get relieved from any constipation you suffered. It works well in treating my constipation problem and I am sure will protect any of us threatened with constipation. ## The antibiotic may actually resolve the constipation issue, since it can cause diarrhea as a side effect.

Im on suboxone and being treated for an infection with batrim. Will both still work properly or cancel each other out? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it's always best to double check.

I am itching all over from a reaction to Bactrim DS. Can I take a Percocet with it? How does it interact? ## Percocet will not do anything to stop the itching.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. As to the itching, you might be allergic to the Bactrim DS, so it would be best to see your doctor and have this checked out. Such allergies tend to worsen with repeated exposure, so you may need to switch to a different antibiotic. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

It's an oblong white tablet with the number 105 105 on one half and 105 on the other half and biocraft on the back ## I found a large white oblong tablet that has biocraft on one side and 3/3 on the other. I am trying to find out what it is? ## The tablet with Biocraft 105 105 marking is now manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 1g of Sucralfate, which is commonly used to treat gastro-intestinal issues, such as ulcers. I am not sure if Teva still manufactures this, as of 2018. The FA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain, and constipation. The tablet with the Biocraft 3 3 marking on it is also manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, now, and it is a generic for the antibiotic Bactrim, which is use...
